I ran my bike at Putnam a few years back in 30 degree weather. It was freaking cold. I could barely get through a 20 min session before my fingers went completely numb. And I rode stiff as a marble statue as I was so anxious about poor grip. But needless to say, I had tons of fun! You've got me looking for winter DE opportunities--it seems like a good chance to work on my wet weather/slick track skills.

I find the coldest I can ride with ventilated race leathers is about 10-12 degrees C, anything less than that it's no fun IMO!! Does look cool though with snow!!

I put down about 30 minutes towards the end of the day with it pouring and only 3 cars on a 2.4 mile circuit --- it really honed the smoothness in a hurry
I called the day "Need for S......SMOOTH!"

Dave - thanks, I thought the snow was cool as heck too!
This was open lapping all day, no run groups - just drive as much as you like. I run B or A on PCA days...depending on who is there and who I hope to hook up with and play with
the really cool part of that day was we let about 1/2 dozen really crazy motorcycle racers run a 30 minute session right before lunch...and one more 20 minute session later in the day. I had never seen bikes run so it was interesting...and man did they look cold! My heat was on high but with the window open i was now all that warm in my car so I can imagine they were freezing - saw a lot of finger wiggling when they came in to the paddock....
